It Takes A Team Of 70 To Make Hot Air Balloons Safe. Here Is Why Theyre So Expensive @BusinessInsider

Business Insider Hot-air balloons have been around for centuries. They're certified aircraft for those looking to take the slow and scenic route, but owning one can set you back considerably — 30,000 euros for a smaller balloon, and 150,000 euros for a larger one.

At Ultramagic Balloons, half the cost is attributed to the balloon itself, known as the envelope. It can take two months to complete a safe, quality envelope. And that's just the tip of the quality-control iceberg.

Why Michelin-Starred Chefs Are Paying Premium For One Of Koreas Rarest Seaweeds | So Expensive

Business Insider 2024-06-22 | Gamtae is one of South Korea's rarest seaweeds. For centuries, this earthy, sweet seaweed was mainly harvested and eaten raw by locals in the Seosan region. Today, thanks to the efforts of Ju-hyeon Song and her family business, Badasoop, it's become a hit among Michelin-starred chefs in South Korea and abroad. But with gamtae's unpredictable harvests and rising prices, turning this small industry into a thriving business presented a challenge. So how did Ju-hyeon take gamtae from local delicacy to worldwide sensation, in spite of everything? And why is it so expensive?

7 Of The Most Faked Seafoods In The World | Big Business | Business Insider

Business Insider 2024-06-17 | Seafood may be one of the most commonly fraudulent foods we come in contact with, according to the ocean-conservation nonprofit Oceana. Your red snapper could actually be a tilapia fillet. That wild-caught salmon? It could be farm-raised. Crab, lobster, and scallops have also been victims of fraudulent swaps — and some of the substitutions could be harmful to human health. But there are also entire criminal rings smuggling seafood across the world. They often fish illegally and have been involved in human trafficking. Why is it so hard to catch bad actors in seafood supply chains? And how can we make sure we're getting the seafood that's on the label?

How Americas Largest Buffet Survived The Death Of All-You-Can-Eats | Big Business

Business Insider 2024-06-07 | The buffet was a quintessential all-American idea: lots of food at a low price. It took off through the 1980s, but in the 2000s, the restaurant concept struggled to keep up in an era of fad diets. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly didn't help. But Shady Maple, in East Earl, Pennsylvania, has come out thriving. On a Saturday, 8,000 people wait in line to chow down on its traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare. Producer Abby Narishkin goes inside the kitchen and takes a seat herself to see if this place really is good enough to be one of the few buffets left standing.

America Needs 3 Million Homes. Can 3D Printers Help? | Big Business | Business Insider

Business Insider 2024-06-04 | America is short over 3 million homes. People are pouring billions into 3D construction companies because machines can build homes twice as fast as stick-built homes. But 98% of homes are still built on-site, mostly out of wood. And in 2023, only about 100 out of 1.2 million completed homes in the US were made with a 3D printer. We talked to multiple 3D construction companies to find out what it will take to build more, how the cost compares to stick-built homes, and find out whether it can help solve our housing shortage.

Why Indias $12 Million Cricket Bat Industry Is Fueled By UK Trees | So Expensive | Business Insider

Business Insider 2024-06-02 | India is home to a number of the top cricket-bat manufacturers, including Sareen Sports, SS. But the wood used to make the highest-quality bats needs to be shipped halfway across the globe from England. JS Wright & Sons, an English willow tree supplier that has been in the industry since the 1800s, supplies 75% of the willow for the world's cricket bats. English willow bats are durable, yet lightweight and sell for up to 10 times as much as cheaper, lower-end Kashmir willow bats. Growing these trees and using them to create a perfect bat is a more than 15-year-long process that requires a careful eye and years of experience. The trees need to be regularly inspected and maintained so they grow slowly and produce a clean, tight-grained cleft. But the best trees could be in short supply as the sport spreads into more countries, like the United States.

Editor's Note: At 2:30, the video incorrectly states that an English willow tree is ready to be cut down when it is 60 inches in diameter. It should say 60 inches in circumference.

How Chinas Thirst For Blood Jade Fuels A Risky Trade In Myanmar | Risky Business

Business Insider 2024-05-22 | Myanmar’s Kachin State is believed to hold up to 90% of the world’s most valuable jade. Demand for it is growing in China, where the stone is considered sacred. But hunting for it is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and many end up addicted to drugs, which they say, replaces their wages. ''

We take the security of characters profiled in our documentaries very seriously. For context, Thant gave us permission to show him with just a mask on, but we took the extra precaution of blurring his face in shots where we felt like his identity could be exposed. He also gave us permission to use his common Burmese last name, but we chose to leave his full name out. We also worked very closely with our local freelancers on the ground to advise us on what we could and could not show and mention so that we wouldn't be endangering him.
